Hi guys,

Having a look through the likes of Tech Radar and Engadget, every so often you see good spec Android phones such as the Xiaomi Phone 2 or Pantech discover for around £200 (or $350).

Anyway EE have given me an amazing sim-only deal for £8.00 per month and for all my 2+ year old HTD Desire HD is still working, i imagine it won't be long before its needing replaced.

So, anyone recommend any good spec Android phones that will operate in the UK for around £200, similar specs to the new I've mentioned above..?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zadusimple:
Hi

I have neat rom (latest) and siyah kernel (latest) installed. My facebook app does not work over WIFI (i can login and can see a circle moving, nothing happens). I have tried to re-install the app multiple times, also deleted cache and deleted dalvik etc, nothing works.

However the app works perfectly fine over 3g.

I have also tried to chnage the DNS of my router to 8.8.8.8 and also tried using open DNS, no good~ :fingers-crossed::rolleyes:

Can anyone suggest me what can i do. I am having the same issue with my wife's GNEX.

I have also tried to reset my modem and router does n ot help either!!

I do not want to use friendcaster etc, what are the options left ?

Please advise.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zadusimple:
UPDATE: I wiped data, format system, completely reinstalled everything and did not restore anything. Still Facebook APP does not work on WIFI. I reset my WIFI settings, reset my router still does not work. The facebook works fine using a browser on PC and the browser on my phone. I am not sure whats wrong. I think it is something to do with ports etc on WIFI.

I am stuck!

Edit: When i try to log in to the facebook app using the WIFI i also get, sign in failed , try single sign in method. I know i can use another facebook app but i am wondering whats wrong with the default FB app!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isene:
I've got here some possiblity's, these possibilty's are about the network aspect of your wireless.

Check your router's firewall (Should be turned off)

Check QoS setting on your router (turn it off)

DNS flush your router

Disable WMM in wireless settings of your router

Disble GI in wireless settings of your router

Restart your router

If you need some support contact me on Skype

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
I have something a little similar - my Play Store updates and app downloads rarely work under wifi but work just fine on phone connection. I'm almost sure it is MTU settings - I changed ISP recently to Optus and noticed a couple of issues. I diagnosed MTU's being incorrect, adjusted the modem to max, then checked and adjusted each PC and the access flies nicely now.

However, although I can adjust the MTU on my S3 using terminal emulator I cannot get the setting to stick - restart the phone OR even don';t use it for a while and the MTU reverts to 1500 - it needs to be 1492. When it is on 1492 all my updates etc work but next time I try to use the phone they hang because MTU is back to 1500 on my wlan0 link.

Anyone have advice on how to reset the MTU and make it stay that way?

NOTE: To find the optimum MTU for your network connection, do this on an attached PC (ethernet or wireless)

Start a command prompt with elevation (right click and choose Run As Administrator)

netsh interface ipv4 show subinterface

(This shows current MTU settings - note you need to check your modem for settings there)

ping www.google.com –f –l 1500 (calc for mtu is last successful ping +28)

Step down the figure by 20 for each time until you get a successful ping response, then work your way back up until you know the value for the highest successful ping. Add 28 to that figure. then run one or more of the commands below depending on which connections you use. e.g. my highest was 1464, so +28 = 1492

netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "Wireless Network Connection" mtu=1492 store=persistent

netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "Local Area Connection" mtu=1492 store=persistent

netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "Bluetooth Network Connection" mtu=1492 store=persistent

Note I am not sure if you can simply look at your modem MTU and do the opposite calculation - e.g. my modem is on 1500 so I might have been able to work out my highest MTU from that.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gameme:
How do I connect my Nexus 4 to a Windows PC, so as to transfer my files ? I cant use LG PC Suite V, even though its a LG device ! So my question is it possible to manage my Nexxi with a pc suite, Like I used to do it with my previous android devices ? :rolleyes: :cyclops:

This is my first Nexus device(which is by far the super awesome device i have ever had), so please dont mind if I am missing something very obvious.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junks2010:
Just use a USB cable and connect your N4 to your windows PC. You should be able to transfer files using window explorer.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
As far as I know all the suites you are talking about are made by the manufacturers for phones running their own UI's, Sense, TouchWiz, etc. I use Windows Media Player to sync music, photos and videos with my N4. You can also just drag and drop files into it if need be. While WMP doesn't quite do all that a suite does, backup is one thing, it is sufficient for what I need to get done.

Did it finnaly ! :) I could connect it VIA AirDroid with USB tethering ON. Just like wireless connection, Airdroid supports connection via USB too.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coinsk:
Actually you should be able to just plug it in and browse the phone through windows explorer (kinda like a usb hard drive). Dont think air droid is necessary for usb.

Especially since you have the option to eject it from your pc i don't think its a driver issue.

I once had a similiar issue to yours and what i did was go into settings > storage > the menu button (the 3 vertical dots in the upper right) > usb computer connection > and check MTP. For some reason it was not checked.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gameme:
Yes, but the actually problem, some time ago I had installed the ADB drivers, thinking that I had to install some driver to connect my device. Yesterday, Saw that this caused the problem and neither the windows media player nor the explorer could browser through the phone memory.

After uninstalling that driver for good, I could connect easily, although it shows as a media device and I cannot get to see the list of folders in explorer, hence I started searching for AirDroid using USB. And Voila !! :D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaminroe:
So let me get this straight... I just bought my Nexus 4. The last Android phone I had was a Galaxy Nexus, and I could simply open Windows Explorer, and drag n drop any file I pleased. Simple.

Now with this phone, I can't do that. For example, a zip file, keep getting the error "Cannot Copy Item". This is with MTP on. I haven't tried the cable that the phone came with, but would that really make a difference? I tried different folders too.

Am I missing something?

UPDATE: So I tried a new text file, and it worked... My zip file was 11mb. I'm guessing it only recognizes certain file types in MTP? If so, guess I'll have to use something like AirDroid
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philippe Lemay:
I can see most of the things that are on my phone from the desktop, but it seems like a lot of stuff is missing...

I checked in the connection settings, MTP is selected, and on my desktop I selected "Show hidden files". I can access the N4 from My Computer, and I see a lot of folders, music shows up fine. But for example I can't see web pages that I've saved using OffBrowser. From the phone I can use the X-Plore app to view the files I have in the phone's memory, and from there I can see that OffBroswer has saved over 250 MBs worth of web pages. But when I try to drag-and-drop them to the desktop, Windows Explorer tells me the OffBroswer has 1 byte of storage in use.

As I said, I made sure to show any hidden files, so why aren't all of the files showing up. Anyone have any idea?

EDIT:

Same with the Opera browser. I've been saving a handful of webpages using Opera Mobile and I wanted to copy them onto my desktop, but they don't seem to show up in Windows Explorer, I just see a lot of TMP files in the Opera folder.

Go to settings -storage -on top right you will see 3 vertical “square dots” click it will say “usb computer connection” then it will give you two options a. MTP and PTP. Simply select MTP and you are good to go. It will now show nexus 4 as a usb drive on my computer.

dude it worked and im totaly happy n stuff!!! How much would you reccomend to oveclock it ?
[General Questions and Answers] orangekid:
Awesome!!

Here's what I would do, play around with the governor and scheduler depending on the kernel options. I would suggest Interactive and deadline if you have those options, but go with different kernel options and read up on exactly what they do. As far as overclock, I would just go up 100 mhz at at time till it freezes, then use the one previous to that permanently. You have an older device so you're going to want to get the most out of your processor and hardware.

If you have any lag you might try the seeder app too, for some people with older devices on GB and such it really seems to be making a difference.

[Galaxy S III General] TeeJayEss:
Actually, the iPhone 4 (with glass back) always fared pretty well against many other phones, in the dreaded drop-test, so it's not as clear cut as that.

Funny though, that the iPhone went from a metal back in the first one, to a plastic back in the 3G, then glass in the 4, now metal in the 5, do we think back to glass again for the next one? :cyclops:
[Galaxy S III General] jinosong:
Samsung is always about utility over form. That's why we have shock absorbant plastic battery doors that everyone complains about. They also manufacture the phone to lessen the shock of a fall. Using glass would go against their phone design philosophy. They work to reduce user accidents not create them. Such a contrast with LG or Apple.
